Location was amazing and convenient
My room smelled musty . It wasn’t feeling clean . There was no room service. I requested few bottled water ,They told me I have to go get it from lobby myself. It didn’t worth the price that I paid .

The main house was beautiful! The staff were friendly and helpful. The bed was comfortable as were the pillows. We loved the bar (especially our server, Max) and enjoyed sitting on the porch. Every staff member we interacted with was kind and welcoming.
There were a few times we found ourselves waiting longer than expected at the front desk and for valet service. Our room was clean and comfortable, though it felt a bit dated. For the price point, it would go a long way to offer a few more amenities, and the pool was smaller than we anticipated based on the website photos.

The hotel is beautiful. The location was perfect to be in downtown
The restaurant wasn’t really open. We tried to get coffee and no one was available

Fantastic location, very nice hotel and rooms. Quiet. Would definitely come again. Also we were there at low season and had a great price.
No desk in the bedroom. That was a problem since we have conf calls late evening or early morning. The car valet process was ok (only one car at a time can get in, the rest wait in line on the street, there are two ways to pay for valet and that is confusing since the app requires to enter a card number to be able to get your car back. Also the app set by default a wrong check out date and it felt like I would be charged two nights instead of one. But it was quickly fixed). Breakfast was very good .. but the food came very slowly... This said overall we were very happy.

Rooms spacious and comfortable. All staff friendly.
Was looking forward to a chill afternoon around pool after a weekend full of wedding festivities. A private party had it closed. They offered another pool to swim at, but we just wanted to relax. Was going to enjoy veranda and coffee, but people having professional photos taken all over kept us from that. And not a negative, but would love to know why a full size taxidermy lion is in an out of the way hallway cove.And 48$ on top of stay for valet...
